"The regulators support technology, they encourage it. But there are rules and you can't deregulate this market because passengers are precious cargo. And getting into a vehicle with a person behind the wheel who may have a criminal record, is using drugs or has no insurance on the vehicle, that can never be deregulated. This is a nation of rules."

Additionally, as stated in an editorial entitled "Taxi Imposters,", "Daus explained he supports the idea of 'ride sharing' but that ridesharing apps are 'deregulation in disguise'", adding that "many regulators are fed up with what he calls, 'operating without a license.'"
